We went to the Twin Springs Fruit Farm stand at the Sunday Takoma Park Farmers Market, where we bought a lot of apples plus three tomatoes, four onions, a head of garlic and a $4 bag of carrots.
The young girl whom we paid charged us $74.10 and ran our credit card through. We returned a couple of minutes later because we did not understand how we could have been charged $74.10.
We waited until the girl finished with her customer. She rang up our produce again, very fast, and this time came up with $110!

Also, what about those 20% that haven't been vaccinated, or those under 12 that can't get vaccinated? I wish you a long...
Read moreIt was a pretty good day the prices are amazing so I'm definitely going to return back each week or every other week to get most of my produce and milk for sure the one thing I would make a slight complaint about is on their website I tried to see if dogs were allowed and it did not say they were not allowed so when I made the 40 minute walk I saw a sign posted in front of the market saying the dogs were not permitted so like I said the only thing I would ask if they can update their website so that way other people know other than that the day was great food was great and with the produce that I received I made a wonderful tomato sandwich and Peach arugula turkey sandwich with the cheese I also bought from the...
